Amazon Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen, 2016)

This second-generation Fire TV Stick is a 1080p streamer, not a 4K device, outputting up to Full HD 1080p at 60Hz (HDCP 1.4) over an integrated HDMI plug. It carries no Ethernet port and streams entirely over dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi. A Micro-USB port on the side provides power from the bundled adapter, and Amazon recommends the wall adapter over a TV USB port. Below is every connector and the cable you need to hook it up.
